Report presenting an investigation to determine the hydrodynamic characteristics of two aerodynamically refined planing-tail hulls. One hull had an afterbody shaped like a tapered boom and the other had two afterbodies with tapered booms fairing out of engine nacelles. Results regarding take-off stability and trim, landing stability, spray, resistance, directional stability, and static transverse stability are presented.

National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics Collection
The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) was a U.S. federal agency founded on March 3, 1915 to undertake, promote, and institutionalize aeronautical research. On October 1, 1958 the agency was dissolved, and its assets and personnel transferred to the newly created National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
The Technical Report Archive & Image Library (TRAIL) identifies, acquires, catalogs, digitizes and provides unrestricted access to U.S. government agency technical reports. The mission of TRAIL is to ensure preservation, discoverability, and persistent open access to government technical publications regardless of form or format.
